DOVER — Just a day shy of three months since an officer involved shooting took place on Lee Hook Road, the investigation into the incident remains active and ongoing.

According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, there is still no prediction of a timeline as to when the investigation will conclude.

She also could not say this week what part or parts of the investigation were pending, though she was hopeful things would be wrapping up soon.

On Dec. 3, Steve Amazeen, 45, of 289 Lee Hook Road, discharged a firearm in his home before leaving and walking some distance from the residence to where police made contact with him a short time later.

His wife, Mary, had called 911 and reported concern over her husband being suicidal.

No one inside the home, including the couple's child, was injured.

Amazeen, however, was shot twice, reportedly by officers of the Durham Police Department, Foster's Daily Democrat later learned through multiple anonymous sources. Amazeen had allegedly pointed his weapon at them prompting the officers to fire.

He was transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover where he was treated for his injuries.

Following his stay there, Amazeen has been in custody at the Strafford County House of Corrections where he remains incarcerated and is facing charges of reckless conduct for placing another person in harm, and criminal threatening for use of a deadly weapon, a charge bound over from court.

He has also since been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression and was granted a bail reduction in February from $100,000 to $10,000 cash or surety bail and would be released into the supervision of his brother upon being posted.

At the bail hearing, his attorney argued jail was not an adequate setting for the man considering his mental state.

He also said at that time while the incident on Lee Hook Road was “scary and risky,” it was a manifestation of Amazeen's state of mind at the time, a time when he was not on medications or getting treatment for any mental illness.

In the very early hours of Dec. 3, 2012, multiple police agencies responded to Lee Hook Road where two officers encountered Amazeen and opened fire after the man allegedly pointed a firearm toward them.

The road remained closed for hours that day while authorities including the State Police Major Crimes Unit, investigated. A news conference was held at the Lee Safety Complex later that afternoon by Morrell, who at the time provided few details about the incident. She said various aspects of the shooting would be investigated, including what was behind Amazeen's actions.

Though she has not yet confirmed officers from which responding department shot at Amazeen, she did say during that news conference it had been “officers” who opened fire.
